16
Q

Proteins that bind to carbohydrates

A

Lectins

17
Q

This pathway provides an additional link between the innate and acquired immune response because it involves nonspecific recognition of microbial cell walls and that are distinct from those found on human cell surfaces

A

Lectin pathway

18
Q

What is the structure of the MBL similar to?

A

C1q

19
Q

What serine protein has a homologous activity to C1s?

A

MASP-2

20
Q

It takes the active role of cleaving the C4 and C2 in the lectin pathway

A

MASP-2

21
Q

a glycoprotein that inhibits activation at the first stages of both the classical and lectin pathways

A

C1 inhibitor / C1INH

22
Q

Where does C1INH bind to inactivate C1?

A

Active sites of C1r and C1s

23
Q

What are the 4 main regulators that inhibit the C3 convertase

A

C4b-binding protein (C4BP)
Complement receptor 1 (CR1)
Membrane cofactor protein (MCP)
Decay accelerating factor (DAF)

24
Q

DAF works with what protein for the inactivation of C3b and C4b?

A

Factor I

25
Q

CR1 also known as

A

CD35

26
Q

Most efficient cofactor for Factor I mediated cleavage of C3B
Also serves as a cofactor for Factor I in cleaving the C4B

A

MCP

27
Q

Aka CD55

A

DAF
